Housing czar Eduardo del Rosario on Friday vowed to continue public service amid a strict lockdown in the National Capital Region and other parts of the country.
He said the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development will be operational throughout the lockdown from Aug. 6 to Aug. 20.
“Pursuant to IATF (Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases) Resolution No.130-A placing the NCR-Plus under enhanced community quarantibe from August 6 to August 20, 2021, the DHSUD Central Office, Regional Offices 4-A and 4-B will be operating on a skeleton workforce,” he said.
“We highly encourage those who have queries and other housing-related transactions with DHSUD to do so using our online channels,” he added.
In its advisory, DHSUD announced that the public can contact the department through 09611370196 or 0916-6741443 or through email at [email protected]
Del Rosario urged DHSUD officials, staff and employees, especially those who are required to physically report to the office, to always observe and abide by health protocols.
“Notwithstanding our current policies on work schedule, do exercise discretion to ensure that our staff are not unduly inconvenienced or their observance of health protocol is compromised if required to physically report for work,” he said.
